Personal Statement
Why do I want to play college soccer? I can’t imagine not playing and I really enjoy the sport.
I play the attacking and holding midfield positions (8, 10, and 6). My club team won the State Cup in spring 2018, was Finalist in fall 2018 and was a semifinalist in 2019. I also play for the Iowa ODP 2004 team and was selected as 1 of 5 players in Iowa to the ODP Region II pool the past 4 years. I was selected 1st Team All Conference and 1st Team All Metro my first high school season (sophomore year). My 3 v 3 team has won three Kick-IT Midwest Regional Championships and placed 7th at the Disney 3 v 3 Championships in Orlando.
I would like to play for a college team that has a positive team culture. I support my teammates and train hard to help to create this culture. I believe this has helped our teams to be successful and come to the field with a lot of energy.
My GPA through the end of sophomore year is 4.226. I will continue to try to keep my grades up!
My parents and sisters have supported me all throughout my life. My teammates and coaches have also been an extension of my family. I want to win conference championships, play in the NCAA tournament and compete at a high level with my team!
